(Company)">Philippe Briand</a> and features a highly efficient hull design to minimise fuel consumption. The design features a Union flag ribbon motif, with an interior design based on recycled and recyclable materials. “To design a vessel – a flagship – that will become a benchmark in sustainability as well as &nbsp;demonstrating British excellence and heritage for current and future generations, while also being a symbol of inclusion and diversity, was an enormous challenge that kept me awake at night,” said designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/53" href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/news#managed-by-system" target="_blank">Philippe Briand</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254813/image/large-051ea3c4a6caf997790d877200dee5e2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254813">The flagship superyacht also allows for accessibility and inclusion with a flexible deck and interior design that can switch between exhibition showcase or floating embassy with ease, “making her suitable for everyone from diplomats to schoolchildren and even the disabled.”“The nature and intensity of the project kept me focused but also filled me with pride, not just in the design process itself but for what the flagship stands for,” added <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/53" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Philippe Briand Ltd.

Team FestivAl also conducted a survey with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a>, in conjunction with the University of Bologna, and found that the hull and superstructure design would emit 30 percent less greenhouse gases than a conventional design over a life cycle of 30 years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254810/image/large-c5a7e07dffe283ead3b9baaef326bdfb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254810">The sleek exterior profile also combines a distinct LED-lit style line, developed by Jason Bruges Studio, that projects the Union flag into the water at night. The lighting scheme also allows for messages to be displayed, and for lighting to be matched to a given theme or location.However, the key feature of the yacht is the central atrium, where wall-to-wall displays showcase presentations based on the use of the yacht at that time. The motor yacht is also able to offer a multi-sensorial experience throughout with sign language and audio descriptions.“The flagship collaboration was an incredible opportunity to act as an architect realising the design of a project that was hugely complex, because it aims to represent not the tastes of one person but the essence of an entire nation,” Briand explained. “That is actually way more difficult than designing for even the most demanding individual!”

The resultant design is the Yacht by Lalique, which will be presented at the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2021">Monaco Yacht Show</a> in September.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/200567/image/large-81306002f304cad9f7f14082c64a67c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/200567">The&nbsp;Yacht by Lalique will not only nod to the rich history of the Lalique brand, but will also look towards the future by employing an eco-friendly design. The superyacht will feature an electric propulsion system, which harnesses energy through a combination of renewable energy sources including solar, wind and currents. Additional energy will be harvested through a seawater electrolysis process in which hydrogen will be extracted from seawater and stored on board in fuel cells. This process has been developed by Energy Observer, who collaborated on the project. Besides the superyacht’s propulsion system, additional environmental considerations have been taken. The collection of runoff water, management of ‘black’ and ‘grey’ water, organic waste management and the use of eco-friendly materials where possible have also been implemented in the design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/200572/image/large-3052f4422b4678e19f4cdf6346c0f92c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/200572">The Yacht&nbsp;features extensive space on board for leisure. The main deck is home to a swimming pool, a bar, a Jacuzzi and an exterior terrace. Inside, the main saloon connects to the dining room as well as a small living room. Additionally, six guest staterooms are found on the main deck. The Yacht’s interior will feature Lalique crystal pieces throughout as well as custom designed decor from Maison MEFTAH.
